Bridge not able to see shared folder in Google Drive

Community Beginner ,
Aug 26, 2020 Aug 26, 2020

Hi!

I am working on a Mac Pro 2012.

I set up Adobe Bridge (AB) to view jpg image files in Google Drive (GD). The files are stored in a shared folder.

The shared folder is linked via a shortcut to the My Drive folder in GD.

I am able to access the files in GD through Google Drive File Stream.

 

When I first worked with AB on the images in GD it was very functional. I shut down my computer for a couple of days and not AB does is not able to open the shared folder. I am able to see all the folders and files in Finder.

 

My sense is that AB does not identify the shortcut in GD when it was able to previously.

Can anyone give me a clue as to whether there are any changes in the set up to sort this issue.

 

I have tried signing out, rebooting etc without success.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Stefan

Hi again,

To add to the above, it seems to me that AB is reding the GD folder shortcut as a image file (please see screenshot).

How can I get AB to read it correctly.

 

Thank you

Ahh! Problem solved. In View you have to check Show Hidden Files. They are burried in  the .shortcut folder.

Then you can pin the folder to you favorites and it is easy to find.

Unfortunately this is not working for me.

What is the route of the .shortcut folder that you mentioned?

Thanks in advance for your help!
